Verse 4.— Let patience have her perfect work. If patience builds up, strengthens and perfects Chris­tian character so that its subject shall be perfect and entire, or complete, wanting nothing, or, as the Revised Version has it, lacking nothing, the argument to the true disciple of Christ is simply conclusive that no let or hindrance ought to be interposed, even if such power was possessed. To be complete, wanting or lacking nothing in principle or prac­tice, is approaching the likeness of our blessed Master, which all the faithful in Christ Jesus desire to attain.
